What I do with Xander if I'll feed him around 6:00 and he goes to bed around 7:00, then I do a dreamfeed (that often kind of wakes him up) at 9:00 and he'll sleep until 5:00 when he's hungry again, then sleep for another hour or two and up for the day at 7:00. I'm not sure if this is helpful to you at all. :)</p> <p>ETA: It definitely sounds like she's eating plenty though! If she doesn't want to eat first thing when she gets up in the morning, I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-952443 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 11:13:58 +0000 sslm 952443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: last night she slept 6 hours, then ate, then went back down for 4, then didn't eat until she'd been up for almost 2 hours! I wish I could get two 6 hour stretches but I'm not sure how to make it happen?</p> <p>She's nursing lots during the day, at least every 2 hours, sometimes more. I guess it just freaks me out when she acts like I'm torturing her when trying to nurse in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-952043 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:15:24 +0000 Adira 952043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Xander started sleeping through the night at that age and would go 6-7 hours without eating, so I think it's normal. Your LO is just doing it more in the morning instead of overnight. If she's happy and peeing enough, try not to worry about it! Maybe since she can go that long without eating, you can try to get her to do it all while she's sleeping so you can get a good stretch of sleep too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-952040 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:14:33 +0000 Smurfette 952040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 4 months and some mornings doesn't eat much either. Even after sleeping STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-952038 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:14:06 +0000 sslm 952038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @blackbird: interesting! Maybe it's a developmental thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-952030 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:12:49 +0000 sslm 952030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @Adira: she's 13 weeks!</p> <p>She just seems to want to play and socialize. She gets very upset when I try to feed her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951987 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:05:05 +0000 dagret 951987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is 6 months and doesn't eat much in the AM either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951969 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:57:41 +0000 blackbird 951969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so weird, but mine (15 weeks old) is like this in the morning. We are actually counting ounces today to see if she's getting her 28 oz in or not. </p> <p>SO WEIRD! </p> <p>anyways, no advice. Just the same thing over here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951952 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:52:44 +0000 autumnlove 951952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 12 week old isn't a big eater in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951951 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:52:42 +0000 aprk 951951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she want to just play when she wakes up? Or is she still tired? I try not to worry when A doesn't want to eat, especially if he's doing ok in the diaper department. As many have reminded me, they know what they need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951946 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:51:38 +0000 heartonastring 951946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't worry too much. She's big enough to go that long without eating (my DD frequently goes much longer than that overnight) and she's probably making up for it over the rest of the day.</p> <p>If you're really concerned, do you have well-baby drop-ins in your community? We have them here..they're run by the health unit and staffed by public health nurses and you can feed and then weigh your baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951941 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:50:07 +0000 Adira 951941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely curious how old she is. If she's still having plenty of wet diapers, you probably don't need to be concerned. Xander (4.5 months) goes 7+ hours without eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951933 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:48:06 +0000 MsLipGloss 951933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is she?</p> <p>As long as she is having plenty of wet/dirty diapers she's probably just fine. She likely makes up for it with other feedings.</p> <p>ETA: You could always have you Ped check out her weight/growth if that would help with any anxiety (and to make sure that she is gaining as expected). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-lo-wont-eat-in-the-morning#post-951905 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:43:11 +0000 sslm 951905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been going on a while now. LO refuses the breast when she wakes up most mornings. It means she goes 5-6 hours without feeding and it's starting to worry me. She typically eats fine the rest of the day, although lately if I try to feed her and she's not hungry she freaks out. </p> <p>She's still dirtying lots of diapers (4+ poops) but I can't help but worry she's not getting enough. I have no idea if she's gaining weight because our scale really sucks. I figure she's gained roughly 2 lbs in 5 weeks. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
